MUMBAI: Since summer has already knocked on the doors and vacations have almost started, Kids' channels are busy with their initiatives to woo the kids.

Nick, the kids' channel from the Viacom 18 stable, has lined up new offerings for children.

"During summers, every day is a Sunday for kids and therefore, we have an interesting lineup for them which also includes a couple of premieres in the Nick Home Cinema slot," said Nick India VP and GM Nina Elavia Jaipuria.

Kicking off on 21 April at 5 pm is Niender which is about a masked cat out on adventures. The channel will also run a contest around the show, which will hit the screens on 11 April.

Nick will also offer a couple of 'marathons' wherein two back-to-back two- and a-half-hour episodes of Ninja Hatori and Perman will be aired.


This will also kick off from 21 April, from 12 noon till 5 pm.

"Ninja and Perman are the best performing shows on our channel and among the most loved characters. Therefore, we are bringing all the new episodes of these shows for the kids," added Jaipuria.

In addition, the channel has lined up two new movies, Dinotopia and Under the Black Flag, for the Nick Home Cinema slot.

Dinotopia is a story about dinosaurs and humans living together in a place called Dinotopia wheres Under the Black Flag is a film based on pirates.

Keeping the trend of interactivity ahead, Nick India has planned an initiative for Mother's Day.

"We believe mother is the first companion of a kid and with this particular initiative, we look forward to engaging the kids along with their mothers," said Jaipuria.
